Yahoo Matrixx Message Board Posters Sue Selves
May 27, 2004 (Matrixx Yahoo Message Board) A number of posters to the Matrixx Yahoo stock message board announced today that they are filing a class action lawsuit against themselves for "gross negligence, ignorance and deception" based on their own posts of the last several months.
A spokesman for the group, InvestorUSA, said he hoped the suit, "would send a message to morons like us everywhere that we need to be protected from ourselves."
Another poster using the ID, Veribull, demanded that a court-ordered "cease-and-desist" action be implemented against himself immediately.
"Have you seen my posts from today?" Veribull asked. "This is ridiculous. The courts must stop me from doing any further harm to myself. I openly declare my idiocy!"
A poster identified as "Dumbassshort" noted that he believed every bogus story abour Zinc Glucamate that came along.
Dan Zimmermann alias Make Millions was nowhere to be found for comment
Other posters concurred.
"Those lying ########, of which I am one, deserve to be slapped hard in Federal court," said painfullyblunt2005, also known as many other alias's on the Matrixx Yahoo stock Message Board. "I'm one of the primary posters and supporters of Matrixx and Zicam. Somebody needs to stop me before I invest again!"
A poster known as "Vlad" said his purported expertise should be "thrown back in my face by the courts."
"I know next to NOTHING about trading stocks," Vlad said at the press conference. "Me giving investment advice is like having Madonna preach abstinence to high school kids. I'm sick and tired of my incompetence. That's why I'm suing me."
yoconfused wrapped up the conference without taking questions from reporters.
"God forbid I make a bigger ass out of myself than I already have," he said. "I'm emptying my piggy banks now because I know my suit against myself is likely to succeed.
A court date was scheduled for April 1, 2005.
